P.S It is sad that local sports radio station KJR treated the story of ex WSU star Ryan Leaf with “kids gloves” this past week.

One of the hosts said “he feels sorry” for Leaf!! And another host who is a ex Washington State Cougar (Leaf was a star QB at WSU) said he feels sorry for him too and that he has “demons he has to deal with” WHAT???? Give me a break!!!

I do not feel sorry for Ryan Leaf!!! This dude was given millions and millions of dollars and he has messed up a promising career in The NFL. He might be the biggest bust in NFL history.

Why would certain hosts on local sports radio “”feel sorry” for Leaf? I don’t understand readers!!

Of course he is innocent until proven guilty but word is he broke into a home or office to try to obtain drugs for his habit. Yes he has had injuries because of football. But PLENTY of other football players had injuries and they did not turn to drugs and get hooked on pain pills.

Plus Leak has had run ins with the media over the years too. So he has not been a angel. He has been a knucklehead truth be told.

Here is the thing readers. If this had been former Seahawk Shawn Alexander or Hall Of Famer Warren Moon or Sonics greats Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp or ex Husky QB Ishiah Stanback, would KJR hosts “feel sorry” for them” or say they have “demons they are fighting?” HELL NO!!!

They would be roasting them over the air. One host brings up ex Husky Reggie Rogers who has had some problems lately. BUT Rogers is no Ryan Leaf.

Leaf is one of the biggest sports stars in the history of college football in the state of Washington. For local radio hosts to give Leaf a pass is TERRIBLE!! They have treated Leaf with KID’S GLOVES!!!

I tried to get a answer as to why they have skipped over this story and got no answer. Leaf is being charges with GRAND THEFT and more. Why would KJR hosts treat this so lightly but blast Mike Vick or other people of color over the air?

One host was blasting Vick before he was even convicted!!! BUT this same host says “he feels sorry for Leaf” and one host who is ALWAYS bringing up himself being a Coug, talks about the story for about a minute, says he has “demons” and QUICKLY moves on the another topic. THIS IS A OUTRAGE!!!

Bottom line is minorities get treated one way on sports radio in Seattle and others get a pass. Well this should be expected with local stations 710ESPN and KJR has a grand total of ZERO people of color over the air.
